Eye on the Ball
Bits & Pieces, September 15, 1994, pp. 7-8
One time when Michigan State was playing UCLA in football, the score was tied at 14 with only seconds to play. Duffy Daugherty, Michigan State's coach, sent in place kicker Dave Kaiser who booted a field goal that won the game.
When the kicker returned to the bench, Daugherty said, "nice going, but you didn't watch the ball after you kicked it."
"That's right, Coach," Kaiser replied. "I was watching the referee instead to see how he'd signal it. I forgot my contact lenses, and I couldn't see the goal posts."
